Don't expect an answer from Jonathan. He's seen the picture, I'm sure. I think it's way to embarassing for anyone at Wow to comment on that picture without offering a free frame replacement along with a 20$ refund. You think this is going to happen? Don't count your chickens...

My sentiments EXACTLY! They should supply us with a new frame and a $20 refund, or some other type of compensation. As I told you, I'm looking to buy another Mini CP in the future, so who knows...maybe Jonathan will surprise us.

Either way, I know I won't be ordering the "Pro" iteration on my next go around.

What if you copy the Genius settings and use them to fly the mini cp. If its the same you can rule out the settings of the Tx.

They are the same settings except I reduced pitch on L in travadj by 10% on the Mini CP (as suggested by bytemuncher-Thanks!). It still does it. I dunno about the stock mini motor as I only used it on a couple flights before changing motor and never tried to flip it with the stock motor.

Anyways, I will try to shoot a video today to show you guys. Too bad I have to intentionally crash to demo this. I'll do it in my yard over tall grass. I'll try to show in the same video that with moderate throttle input (neg) it's fine but when I apply too much pitch it's a no go.

I suppose better throttle management is one way to avoid inverted tail blowouts, but the problem is I don't only fly this heli. When I go from the Genius CP to the Mini CP, I need to change the amount of neg pitch I apply quite drastically so I have to adapt my throttle management for each heli. THis makes for a rough first minute of flight with the Mini CP until I adjust my thumbs. It's annoying.

I'll post a pic of my frame with the motor removed later. Do you want one? I'll drill one out for you.... 20 bucks!!! Call it the Mini ProPine.

+1 for the butchered main frame. I ordered a "stock" mcp from WOW because I didn't like the idea of having holes drilled into the frame. I thought it was weird when I picked it up and during the test flight I saw that they had added the genius main gear but was told they had not drilled holes into the frame.

It wasn't until I saw the previous posts that said the mod wasn't visibly obvious until you removed the motor that I discovered they had drilled the holes. At least I didn't have to pay the extra money for their "Pro" mod.

Considering getting a replacement frame over concerns that the motor mount will break at some point.
